The simple life

Closure...

After long thoughts, I've decided to close the door.
Cloes the door of blogging because people rarely know me through what I write and I don't find a need to let them into my life..

All my close friends already know what I am going through so why bother "pleasing" the world?

I'm too darn lazy to blog anymore.

So this is it.

My closure.

2006-12-08T18:08:00.000+11:00

A sweet gesture..

I checked my inbox awhile ago and my dearest mommy sent this to me.
I find it so sweet.

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's blind.

She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He's always there for her.
She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can see everything, including her boyfriend.Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you marry me?"

The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blind too, and refused to marry him.
Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying. "Just take care of my eyes dear."

Sometimes in life we rarely appreciate the people who really care for us.
The people who stood by us through thick and thin..

Our family and our loved ones.

Girls night/day out.

A few reasons why i *heart* being back in KL.
I have the company of wacko friends whom i *heart* the most
and random "bimbo-fied" lunch and dinners which I enjoy sooo much because finally, I can be myself again.

Hahaha. lol

I mean in Melbourne Uni must act a wee-bit more sophisticated than I usually am right?
So come back to Malaysia, I act all giggly/bimbo/blonde/the stupid girl that you can think of.
Sorry but I am like that, and I love being around my best babes =)

On the contrary,

RESULTS ARE OUT TOMORROW *dengdengdengdeng....*

butbutbutbut, I get to enjoy myself tonight.

Maison anyone?

2006-11-30T22:16:00.000+11:00

Home sweet home...

I love being back home. The feeling of my own bed, the feeling of my friends around me, the feeling of warmth and the sense of familiarity and most of all the feeling of being around my family.
Ah, it just spells heaven out.

There's no place like home.

Haven't been doing anything much since I got back on Sunday.
Had lots of typical Malaysian food which is so delicious! God, didn't realise how much I missed them after being away for 10 months.

And another reason why I love being back is familiar friends and close friends. Havent seen all of them yet, but I know that I've missed them a lot when I was away.

Mr Huggable himself. *hugggzzZz*

They crack me up 24/7.

Man, i just love being home.

Can't wait to see all the rest again!

2006-11-26T04:13:00.000+11:00

19 hours and a long 8 hours flight
is my journey back home....

In less than 12 hours, I'll be on that MAS plane, on my way back home.
Yes, home.

I personally cannot wait. But i'll definitely miss the cold weather here.

Back to hot humid weather.

See you guys in 20 hours.

Lotsa love.

Long awaited post..

Happy 20th Birthdayy Edwin Chen!

Had dinner @ Sophia's at Camberwell.
Yeah Camberwell is not in the city so Shaun and I had to study the map before leaving.
And it was getting dark and the see-tuuu-pid map gave us like the route where people hardly use!
All those short cuts and small roads..
Dammit, I wanted the FREEWAYYYY, not small ulu roads. Haha
But all's good, we arrived in one piece, thanks to my navigating skills *cough*

Sophia's is some italian place that serves large large I mean overly large plates of food.
But yummy.
Especially the seadfood platter. mm *slurp*

Urm, so as usual I forgot to bring my handy-dandy-camwhore camera so I had to rip off pictures from other people's blog.
And I await pictures from Pris' camera!

Birthday boy with his favourite new ralph polo tee :) shaun and me.

Birthday boy in the middle with hao ern, ailing, pris and yenny.
Yenshan!! Why your eyes closed? Haha. Oooops.

Other pictures up soon. As soon as Pris passes me the pictures!
*promise*

Me and darling pris *smiles*

Ailing, Sarah, Pris. Urgh i look ugly here. but who cares! 0.O

Sweet-ailing and Sarah

Eileen and Edwin! awww. so sweet

MmmMmm.. delish cakes!

Sparkly candles are pweettty..

So like,
Exams are O-V-E-R!!!

Finall sat for my last paper yesterday morning. Dammit, another 9am paper and I swear I'll be the ugliest walking zombie ever!
I told you my biological clock is all haywired and will not allow me to sleep before 4am.
Hence, the reason for my 2 hours of sleep before a long excruciating 3 hour paper in the morning.
Paper was ok.. but who am I kidding?
I only studied like 15 hours before the paper started!!!
I couldnt be bothered about this stupid information systems exam.. Hahaha lol.

Plans after exams (holiday-ing for 3 monthss!!!)

Shopppinnngg! Uh-huh, I've saved up for this last week in Aussieland!! Anyone want stuff from Aussieland? Buzz me! I'm coming home sooon! :)
Pack my stuff and shift out. yes again.
Get fit and lose weight before I go back to kl. (hahaha yea right!!!)
Spend my last week in Aussieland eating yummy delicious chocolate that i cant get back in KL
Enjoy the cold weather before I hit the 30 above temperature in KL

Tonight, poker and alchohol night.

Nothing beats malibu, friends and poker for post examination activities! =)

I seriously cannot wait till i get back to KL. another week and I'll be surrounded by satays. Yummy satayyyss!

2006-11-15T19:17:00.000+11:00

Let it snow...
Let it snow.....
Let it snow.......

If you look up any national geographic weather thingys, they'll let you know that Spring is one of the prettiest season of the year!
The weather is just right, not too cold nor not too hot..
Where people would just walk out of their houses prancing around in dresses and skirts (girls of course) without worrying about how cold the temperature will turn to.

But something bizarre happened today. I didn't think it'll be this peculiar.
Yesterday Shaun went out to have a drink with May Lin and Jon.
He wanted to wash his new used-to-be-shiny-black-integra this morning (wednesday)
But Maylin said..
"Oh no.. better not wash the car tomorrow. Weather forecast said that the whole of Wednesday is going to be wet, and even more wet...."

Dammit >.<
Min: 3 degrees Max:13 degrees!
Okay. If you kids dont know how cold 13 degrees is.. imagine Genting (20 degrees) 3 times colder than that! Freeze your ass off. Lol. I woke up this morning feeling chilly and looked outside the window. *mind you i was wearing shorts and tee's to sleep*
I walked outside onto the balcony and yes, the weatherman was undeniably correct.
It started raining in the afternoon which means I get to stay home all day with shaun trying to keep ourselves warm.

But the most outrageous thing happened.

It SNOWED in Victoria!!! o.O

Like hello, it's not Winter, it's Spring!!!!!
Theoretically, places don't snow during Spring..
Well, Victoria hardly ever snows during winter itself..

Omg. Bizarre. End of Days. Muahahahaha. Lol

Snowing in Ballarat, Victoria. More like snow rain...

Yep, snowing 9am this morning while I was still asleeep..

Crazy things happen once in awhile..
Dammit, why isn't it snowing in the city??? I want to see snoww...
Sniffs.
I've got one more paper left this Friday!!!
And then it's shopping spree for one week and back home to KL for 3 months.
*all smiles*

2006-11-11T22:50:00.000+11:00

Four seasons..

What I love about countries that have four seasons.
Their shops go by the motto "The weather is changing and so should your wardrobe"
Hahaha, so cute.

And that is why we need bigger wardrobes or walk-in-closets to fit our 4 seasons clothing.
:)

Spring is here and shorts are in! As well as dresses. Mm pretty dresses.
I took a break from studying Finance and browsed through the online shops to see what's hot and new in shops here in Aussieland.

Pretty dresses. Sigh those figure-stick-models makes me green. Green with envy.
....

I love the way the colour is so candy-licious :)

Eeeeekkkk. That black dress is sooo pretty!

Sigh, I can't wait to get my hands on them.. And I'm so going to after my exams end this Friday!
I've been waiting so long, I can finally smell freedom!
Woooott..

Shopping shopping shopping..
No no,
study study study......

Siggh, okay back to studying.

2006-11-09T15:50:00.000+11:00

A huge burden off my shoulder..

I've officially "burnt" my accounting books and notes..
I had a 9am in the morning paper which I had to endure 3 hours of excruciating accounting pain.
Hahaha, I sound like I totally hate it.
Well I'd say I dislike it but I still had to study it..

I hate morning papers because my biological clock only allows me to actually fall asleep after 3am.
And being a 9am paper, I had to wake up t 7.45am.
So yeah, you do the math..

I don't know how I used to wake up at 5am in the morning for a 7am paper during my College days.
hahaha, yes SAM students had to sit for their exam paper at 7-blardy-in-the-morning-am.

But *wipes forehead* Thankfully its all over. The paper wasn't that bad.
Hahaha I managed to boost up my confidence as soon as my Statement of Cash Flow balanced!!!!
Omg, the happiest moment of my life when all my entries balanced
*smiles even bigger*
*Wish i could jump around in the exam hall...*

So accounting and economics down. Two more papers to go and I'm back home!!

Oh, and the OC season 4 is out. Find out what happens to everyone after Marrissa's Death.

Hokay, I need to catch up on my 9 hours sleep now. Cover up for my loss of sleep yesterday night. I blame the 9am papers. *curse curse*

2006-11-08T13:40:00.000+11:00

Back From The Dead..

I hear some people saying "finally, i'm getting bored of visiting your page.."
I'm really sorry because if you didn't already know, I'm so busy with my exams and all.. with all this pressure and everything going on, I have no time at all to even switch my laptop on.

Oh, haha maybe to only frequently check my assignment marks or print new exam papers.
I just want to concentrate on this exam and head back for KL! *all smiles*
I can't believe it. I keep on counting the days till I'll be back again. It seems like forever since i step foot on that hot-humid-weather (okay, i'm starting to miss the cold weather thinking of the humidity)
But hey, I have been living in that hot-humid-weather country for almost 19 years already!
Can't complain right?

Okay, so Macroecomics wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. Manage to finish the entire paper considering I didn't quite finish my Micro paper last semester *phheewwww*
Thank God for that! :)

Tomorrow's my Accounting paper which I am NOT looking forward to it.
So difficult. Period.
So many reconstruction of accounts, consolidations, ratios.. omg. Totally not looking forward to it. I hope i pass. I'll be happy enough if I pass.

Exams aside!!!!!!!...................

I havent' been doing anything much. Shaun's computer died on him that day soo basically all my pictures are uploaded on that hard drive.. so, sorry no pictures.
And Shaun;s internet keeps on dying on me too.
Now you know why I get so annoyed everytime I come online. Hence, the lack of blogging.
*sorrry*

Hahaha, omg sidetrack a bit.
I was listening to the Ipod yesterday while flipping through my accounting notes.. and i totally noticed that music makes me happy.
You know the song "Let the music heal your soul".. It's so true!
I noticed as my favourite songs came on, i couldnt help singing along to it and started smiling (even in the midst of struggling for my accounts)..

So i urge you lovely people to download a few of my current favourite songs if you don't have it.

The Fray-Over my head

Nelly Furtado-Promiscuous Girl

Beyonce-Irreplacable

Imogen Heap-Hallelujah (The OC soundtrack) omg. damn damn emo. sniffs.

Okay, back to studying.
Wish me luck on Thursday.

Till then, I'll be back on the 26th :D

2006-11-01T01:21:00.000+11:00

Pull me out...

Okay, so here I am ranting about my exams again.
Sorry but I can't help myself from thinking that my final exams are in less than 6 days ahead.. okay make it 5 because I'm just going to waste another 10 hours sleeping soon.

I'm printing all these practice exam questions and I find myself staring at the paper with "big" confused eyes and my face with that bimbo-blank-question-mark look.

I desperately need......

More coffee and more even more coffee

Some pegs to keep my eyes open throughout the night

Five alarm clokcs to actually get me out of my bed and avoid me from going back to bed

How about a BIGGER and SMARTER brain?

Pffffttt.
Exams literally suck me dry.

Ps: On a happier note, its train rides and waffle eating tomorrow all the way to Glen Waverly to collect Shaun's new car :)
I finally can have the pleasure of riding in cars again :)

Pss: there goes another day of studying. Argh.

2006-10-30T00:33:00.000+11:00

In big trouble...

Recently, well not so recently.. maybe 2 months ago, I pledged to study as hard as I possibly can to achieve whatever I can.
But at the rate I'm going the "whatever I can achieve" is so far out.

I bunked at Vivianne's place the whole weekend and the two of us girls just glued our bums onto the comfy sofa and watched so many episodes of Will&Grace (funny ass gay show! i looveee it. for you people who dont know, GO download it now!!) and Law&Order (makes me regret doing commerce instead of forensic science..)

Besides, the whole weekend was spent with Shaun's family before they left.
Nope, not regretting that but my study's have been pushed aside for a moment..
What's worse is my first paper (economics) is first... and I need good grades for that since I'm majoring in it.
Sigh, double sigh.

And here I am, back from my anniversary dinner celebration (was awesome btw) with my books spread out on my table and my coffee in front of me.
My coffee is getting colder is minute and my books are staring at me furiously because I ain't touching it..
One hour has passed and I denied the fact that I have to study.

Thank God for swot vac's (study leave laahhh..)..
Intensive studying for one week, and its exams for two weeks... and then..

Hello Malaysia for 3 months :)

2006-10-28T22:26:00.000+10:00

What do you expect?

Sigh, poor little *me* has been so uptight and busy these past few days.
Assignments after assignments, killer I tell you... killer
And after assignments, its straight to my books (i dislike books now.. grrrr...)
**omg, I haven't blogged for a long time and I'm now suffering from writers block**..

Anyhow, exams are near (which means that my KL trip back home is around the corner too!!)
and I have officially finish my first year of University.
Dammit, time flies you knoww..
I have 2 years left and I'm finally an university graduate and time for me to get all "business-suit-corporate-economics-kinda-woman" in the working world..
*hahaha, I can't imagine myself in a boardroom full of serious people..*

Hoookkayy, I've finally decided and chose my degree major for the next 2 years.
I've concluded that I best suit the banking and finance world and not the accounting-with-calculators-and-tax law-gibbrish-corporate-law-auditing-accounting thingy... hahaha yeah you get my drift strictly no accounting because I find it dry..
So, I'm majoring in Economics and Finance.
Banks people, money and banking, my thing :)

Moving on, Shaun's family had been in Aussieland for the past week and home-cooked-food never tasted better! I've been missing out on all those homecooked food for ay ges!
I miss my mommy's and grandmother's cooking :(
And they're gone back now, just left actually.. already missing the privilege of homecooked food.
Sigh. double sigh.

BIGGEST NEWS ever.. muahahaha i made you look =p

Tomorrow's my 2nd year anniversary! Woooott!
2 years baby.

Me and him, at Cynthia's birthday 23/03/05

DJ prom, 7/12/04

A year in melbourne.

Reminiscing down memory lane, blissful just blissful.
I can't wait for tomorrow...
Love you darling.

Have a good weekend people!
Time to hit my books again....

2006-10-14T21:35:00.000+10:00

I am in loveeeeee with my polka dot dress from supre *click*
Just went shopping yesterday before heading to Uni (assignments, yuck)

I can't wait for Tuesday. The end of all my assignments. My last assignment.
Then it's purely exams.

Then 26th November awaits me :) :)
Okay, back to my 1700 word report.

2006-10-13T00:46:00.000+10:00

I came across....

The "most-prettiest prettiest prettiest" (haha mind my english) rose flower ever!

*gasps* Look at the combination of colours!! And you know I loooveee white stuff *because white rule the world* :)
If you look closely, some of the roses are two-coloured (red and white) Soooo pretttyy!!
Because Australia breed pretty flowers.

Haahaa,
No I ain't that lucky.. It's not for me :(
It was for one of Shaun's brother's friend..
Lucky girl

***********************************************************************************

29th September 2006,

Anniversary "dessert eating" @ Greco's Crown

We decided to have cakes for our anniversary because we were sooo stupid to fill our tummies up with nonsencical food at 5pm in the evening when we clearly knew that dinner was going to be in 2 hours time
So Greco's (this restaurant famous for its gigantic-oversized-yummy-cakes) it was.

Decided to wear this pinkish/orange dress I bought ages ago but never had the chance to wear it because I don't even know why.. hahaha so I picked that night to wear it! Thank God it wasn't that cold

Oh, mind the mess at the back... not my room.. Shaun's! hahaha

The dessert menu had like 25 over something cakes and we couldn't make up our minds!
I never knew choosing cakes were so difficult! As difficult as choosing an outfit, haha okay I'm starting to get a weeee bit corny..
Hahaha, in the end, we ended up with Rocky Road and Strawberry Cheese Cake.

Delish Rocky Road-full-of-chocolate

Strawberry Cheese Cake with yummy biscuit crust

Wahaha, I just had to take it together because it looks SO good together

Him and Me *i look weird, but who cares.. but hence the lack of pictures of me* hehehe

We were darn full that night and couldn't walk anymore after that two gigantic cakes.
Dammit,
How laaaaa not to put on weight
Die.

But all you nice people back home, when you see me at the end of the year.. just tell me I look the same okay??
Be nice and compliment me, not say...
"Holy cow, you loookk damnnn fat already..."
Wah, so sad... hahaha

**********************************************************************************

Stuck with books, papers, notes and my laptop..

I totally sincerely apologize for my absence once again...
I seriously tried to at least update twice a week, but time was an issue
If I could at least get 5 hours of sleep a day, I would be eternally greatful...
Whatever spare time I had was to sleep or eat or do something to get my mind off assignments

I just handed in 3 assignments last week and it was madness I tell you..
Pure I.N.S.A.N.E ly madness...
I handed in my last Finance assignment just on Friday and I thought I could take a break from all these assignments...
But my phone rang, and.......... my accounting partner wanted to finish up the next part of the assignment (which is due this week too)...
Soo.. my whole Saturday was spent at the Law Building and my cup of caffeine, doing assignments..

Assignments.. assignments and more assignments..

Accounting work.....

And you know whats worse? Exam's in 4 weeks time and they just keep on overloading us with assignments..
How laaaaa to finish 4 entire different textbooks, lecture notes and tutorial work????

Chee-sin the university people.

So you guys know why if I keep on disappearing like that, its not because I want to..
It's because I can't find the time to

For the next 4 weeks, I'm going to be married to the Law Building/Library because I just loveee that building and I looveee studying there.
Take a look at the view I see everyday when I study there...

A park! Sooo pretttyyy.

My daily does of caffeine... *okayy, I took ice coffee that day because it was SO HOT outside*

Argh, I'm pretty much going through a whole lot of stress.. I'm really sorry if i dont update as often...

Look at the brigther side..

I'm coming home to KL soooon!! In a month's time..

2006-09-30T01:29:00.001+10:00

And it's finalllyy out...... :)

The moment we've (I've) been waiting for.....
For all you One Tree Hill / Chad Michael Murray/ Sophia Bush fanatics..

One Tree Hill Season 4 is finally OUT!
Wahahahhaha..

Where we left off on season 3.
Nathan's and Haley's wedding ceremony..
Who's pregnant?!?!
The accident with Nate's uncle and Rachel (the hot girl from season3)

Omg, so "kan cheong"

I need to get the complete season 4 in DVD's! :)
Drama, and more drama.
I love One Tree Hill

I'm rushing to the stores tomorrow to get my copy of Season 4.
Are you?

**********************************

I just refreshed my University timetable page, and my exam timetable appeared out of no where

Exams kick off with Macroeconomics on the 6th and blissfully ends with Business Process Analysis (see-tuu-pid Information Systems subject ) on the 17th November.

So my beloved friends, expect me to invade Kuala Lumpur by 28th of November! I can't wait to see you people!!!!!!!

Okay, next month. Study, study , study.

Eat, breathe, sleep, drink my textbooks. Bleh, sounds boring

**********************************

On a sweeter note,

Happy 1 year and 11 months anniversary dearest.

Woah, old school picture. Haahaa, 1 year ago.

2006-09-29T03:33:00.000+10:00

Hiatus, begone!

I know, i know.. sorry for the short pause on my blog. Don't you just hate it everytime you *click* on a blog and all you get is the same page over and over again until one fine day you just give up *clicking*?

A thousand apologies my favourite readers. I've been so preoccupied with my assignments, rushing everyday and when i finally have the time to myself, I'd rather sleep or watch tv. *giggles*
I'm finally done with 2/5 of my assignments, so I could afford to blog now.

Such a bummer, my Spring Break holiday comes to an end this Sunday :(
The whole month of October and November is work work work, and more work :(

But after November, it's Goodbye Melbourne and Helllooooooo Malaysia (for 3 months!!!)
Anyhows, here is a proper update of my holidays

BBQ @ Adelene's place on Wednesday

Scott decided to have a bbq at Adelene's place last wednesday, so I went! Haahaa, how could anyone refuse bbq-ing with friends on a sunny afternoon?

The girls bbq-ing. Chermayn,Ailing,Adz,Me

Haha the only reason why we "volunteered" to cook was because we were nearest to the food source. Mm fresh and hot from the grill!
Haha, no wonder people were complaining that food took pretty long to reach the main table at the back *big grin*

The funniest and most hillarious thing happened.
I accidently dropped a piece of lamb or beef, I don't really remember on the pebbled floor ( I blamed the thongs not my clumsiness, heehee) and quickly picked it up and chuck it back onto the grill.
Yeap, no one was looking!
But Adelene-the-perfectionist saw and she went... "eeeeeeeewwwwwwwww.. yuckkkKkkkkk!!"
And then I went... "ssshhhhhhh, no one knows. *evil laugh*..."
Haahaa, moments later Ms-not-so-perfectionist after all dropped a few pieces of beef and chucked it back onto the grill.

Eaters: 0
Disgusting Chefs: 5

:)

The culprit(s) The bestest chefs ever! *evil laugh*

Haahaahaa, never invite us to "cook" for you. Bad idea. Might end up with a funny-feeling-tummy after that.

Dessert outing @ Koko Black

Outfit for the night *winks* Yes, i finally get to wear skirts out! Spring ma. Omg, i look pregnant >.< href="http://www.kokoblack.com">*click* is one of the most famous-yummiest-delish-whatever u name it Chocolate cafe ever ever built! Okay, I'm exaggerating a little but you get my drift.

Explaining is not good enough, let the pictures do the talking.

My yummy Iced Mocha with chocolate flakes.

Shaun's spidey-web hot chocolate

Some mix and match chocolates

*mememe* and adelene

Hahaha, I made Jonny Ngan pose. *shhooo cuuteee..*

Jonny Ngan's car very.fast.
He took the girls for a spin in his very.fast.car.

Can.almost.die.of.heart attack.
But it was damnnn fun! Adrenaline rush. wooot.

See Jonny Ngan's fast fast car.

Sigh, it's 4.11 am now and I'm veeerrryy sleepy. Haahaha, I took 1.3 hours to blog about this post. Damn tired, my eyes gonna close.

Night lovely people.
I *pwwoomise* I'll update more often. hehehe

Random picture: Has anybody seen this pretty white Louis Vutton open toe heels? Sooooooooooo pretty. I want :) hehehe adding it onto my wishlist! :)

2006-09-20T01:03:00.000+10:00

Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all, of her love
She's a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cords
make you fall, real hard in love
She's a Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all, of her love
Wish you never ever met her at all!

Haha i keep wondering whether such Ladies exist. Watch out boys.
She's a maneater...

*darn* that tune is stuck in my head! And the see-tuu-pid-dess thing is I'm trying to stuff my Macroeconomics into my small brain.
But my brain decides to hum the tunes to Maneater - Nelly furtado.

*sarahhh.. back to studyinnngggg...*

Bbq's at Adelene's tomorrow.

2006-09-19T15:57:00.000+10:00

Sunshine through my window

Today's temperature: 28 degrees
Hellloooooo Sunshine and warm breezes!
Woke up today with Jonny Ngan's phonecall asking whether we wanted to have lunch!

What a purr-fecct day to have Fish & Chips by the Pier. Weather was awesome!

So anyhows, went to Chaddy last Sunday with Shaun to change his lime green polo tee, but he walked out of Polo Ralph Lauren with another polo tee (hahaha, my boyfriend shops as much as I do)
The most unfair-est thing was that the Guys stuff were all on sale (like 30-50% off) and the ladies were not. Boo-hoo-hoo.

Shaun's new red polo tee (haha he didn't know I took his picture)

I bought this white polka dot thingy from Bardot *clicckety-click* , this pretttyyy pink pumps from Novo and this skinny jeans from JeansWest

*I* walked out a happy little girl but cash-less

Pretty pink pumps

White polka dot top

Mm okay, enough with pictures. Gotta rush to work now!

Have a greaaatt week people

2006-09-17T00:34:00.000+10:00

Bummed out..

Initial plan today was to visit Chadstone to exchange Shaun's lime green Polo-tee but *aheeem* *we* couldn't really wake up this morning because *we* had a late night last night with Adelene and Jia Heng.
We managed to get tickets for Lady In The Water yesterday night.

Lady in the water. Omg, she looks freaking scary

The mister-dude-guy that saves her.

Comments?

Well, I wouldn't say that the movie was entirely boring or dull, it was rather interesting the way the plot built up but I would say that urrmm the story ended abruptly but the show could have been better in some ways.
For you fiction lovers, watch it.

Friday Night Dinner @ Universal Pizza, Lygon

Had dinner with Rica, Cyndi and the rest of them at Lygon yesterday. Has been ages since I saw Rica as that poor girl has been busy with her non-stop-pile-of-assignments. (interior designing not my cup of tea)

Cyndi-loves-pigs, Rica-the-interior-girl, and plain-old-me

Cyndi,Rica,Pris,Me,Jernie-wernie

Pris-so-sweet and *me*

Smart *me* didn't bring her handy-dandy-camera out so I had to use Shaun's camera. I didn't know how to operate that Olympus camera and my cam-whoring skills were switched off that night, hence the lack of pictures. Sorry!

However, I found this somewhere beneath the picture folders.. I miss my long long hair....

Dear Chadstone, I'm coming tomorrroowwww! I need a new pair of jeans and I'm gonna grab that pretty-awesome-kimono-dress (*scrolls down*)

holidays!

2006-09-15T02:18:00.000+10:00

And so *me* rejoiceee.......
for just a little while...

Today starts my first day of my-lovely-2-week-break! I vowed to only take 4 days off from my assignments and actually start "attempting" it.
Haa-haa-haaaa, note I said "attempt" not finish.

So today as expected, went to my lectures and was forced to listen to the awesome Chaddy VIP sale event thingy yesterday night (Nah, I wasn't forced to listen, haaahaaa.. just exaggerating a little much )
Dammit, was totally envious of them being able to shop. Yes, I know I'm solely addicted to shopping, but I seriously covet for it.

Being the ultimate shopping-lover, *I* am so veryyy happy that my boyfriend needs to go to Chadstone this weekend because he needs to change his lime green Polo-tee for a smaller size! Although nothing will be on sale, I am still happy. See, I'm really easy to please .

I am soooo gonna get this spanking-pretty-kimono-dress from Supre this weekend. Doesn't even cost all that much
Ahhhh, shopping makes me a happy little girl.

Hmmmmm, I've noticed that my blog has turned into a shopping diary. Haahaa, maybe I should stop somewhere.

Soooooo.......... Plans for my spring break:

Earn money to fund my addiction to shopping
Dinner with Singz, Rica and the rest tomorrow night
A short trip somewhere with Darling Faye
Spend my 1 year 11 months anniversary somewhere pretty
Finish up my 5 assignments??!?!?!

First things come first, I've gotta drag myself to Gym tomorrow. Have a gym-date with my dearest Pris.

Have a good weekend lovely people

sniff sniff

Dammit, University work
I hate assigments

Forgive my busyness the past weekend. My busyness caused my poor blog to be neglected and deprived from pictures! *gawwsssh*
No pictures of my life lately *scrolls down*

I feel so washed out/drained/weary/dead.. or whatever you like to call it. I have suddenly relied so much of caffiene (hmmm, which literally has no effect on me or whatsoever)
I don't even know why I still turn to it as my "saviour"

But hey, this new Ipoh-White-Coffee thingy-gajeebeez I found at Shaun's place taste darn good

So anyhoos, I just manage to complete my Business Process Analysis (urm, some hightech name or an Information System subject, hahahaha )
I suddenly figured out why I'm so easily worn out.
Let's see what my schedule was for a Monday, did I tell you I dislike Monday's? The starting of the week? The day after Sunday? Bleh
Yeah yeah, okayyy.
I had to force myself out of bed at 10.30 am and catch the tram to work. Worked from 12 till 3 then it was straight to the library for me to finish up my seee-tuu-piidd assignment. And then work again from 6-8pm.

Oh. My. Gooodnesssss.

I'm so tired nooowwwwwwww...... annnndddd exaammsss aree cominnnnngggggg. I can't afford to blink one second or even take a break. Whoever said University was all fun fun fun fun.
More like all work work work and no play bayybeh.

I can't wait for Spring Break next week! Urm wait. I have 4 assignments due after that 10 days break. Then its exams in 4 weeks.......................

Lord, help me please.

Thankk youuu!!

2006-09-07T20:05:00.000+10:00

And let there be smileys.....

I want to sincerely thannkkkkiuuuuuuu Ms.Jasmine Danielle for teaching dumb-html-illiterate-me how to insert smileyss back onto my blog!!!!!

Ah, smileys are back in business on Sarah's blog.

This weekend will be pretty occupied as Commerce loves dumping assignments to us, so i'll be working on mine this weekend (it's only because i've been procrastinating a whole lot )
Hokkayyy, i'll update soon but dinner is calling me and my tummy needs my attention now now now!

to go or not to go?

2006-09-05T18:03:00.000+10:00

Procrastinating, my expertise

Sigh, the life of an university student ain't no fun at all. And come to think of it, I used to *grumblegrumble* when my high school teacher dumped a pile of work on me to do...
Now..... bah, even worse.

With a 2000 word-ish assignment due next week (which *i* haven't started on yet) and exams coming up, "free time" does not even exist in my vocabulary for now.

Dammit,

I feel seee-tuuu-piiiddd.

The law library next to my apartment is still open. I heard the law library is very pretty. I heard that studying is good for you. I also heard that my OC season 3 is about to finish downloading.. Choices.

Should *i* visit the law library? :(

Breaking news

2006-09-04T21:48:00.000+10:00

Death by a sting ray.

Have you guys ever switched channels on Astro/Cable Tv and somehow landed on the Discovery Channel?
Or are you even interested in Wildlife and what not.

I'm sure you Discovery Channel goers will definitely remember Steve Irwin better known as the Crocodile Hunter.
For you people who don't know. Remember the guy who had a typical "aussie" slang? The one always wrestling with crocodiles and stupidly feeding his 1 month year old baby into a crocodile's mouth saying.. "Crikey! Aint no harm in that. Crocodiles don't bite aye." (imagine that in a heavy aussie slang)

Well Steve Irwin alarmingly passed away this afternoon on the 4th of September due to a strange sting ray sting on his left part of his heart. He died while filming one of his documentary's. When I first heard the news from Faye and Jern, I was so shocked.

I mean sting ray??????? He left behind his wife and two kids. Now that's tragic. Sigh, life is so unpredictable.

Here is the article from the Age (Australian Newspaper)

One of Steve Irwin's close friends and business partners today described the Crocodile Hunter as a wildlife icon who died doing what he loved best.

Mr Irwin, 44, died today after he was fatally wounded by a stingray barb to his heart while filming a sequence on Batt Reef off Port Douglas for his daughter's new TV series.
Mr Irwin's producer and closest friend, John Stainton, said emergency services were called from Cairns Rescue Base and met Croc One - Mr Irwin's rescue vessel - at Low Isle on the Great Barrier Reef.

He said the boat's crew performed CPR on Mr Irwin during the 30-minute run to Low Isle, but medics pronounced him dead about noon.
"The world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet. He died doing what he loves best and left this world in a happy and peaceful state of mind," said Mr Stainton in a statement.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for Mr Irwin's Australia Zoo said it was probably the worst day any of the staff had experienced.
Describing the zoo as "one huge family", he said more than 500 people a day thanked Mr Irwin for his friendship.

"His wife has lost a husband and he's got two kids. And at the end, that's the all of it," he said.
Tasmania Police this afternoon confirmed Mr Irwin's American-born wife Terri was travelling in Tasmania, where she is reported to be trekking on Cradle Mountain.
A spokeswoman said police had made contact with Mrs Irwin and "passed on a message relating to the death of her husband".
'A bloody good bloke'

Tourists joined locals to pay tribute by leaving bouquets of flowers at the front entrance of the zoo at Beerwah made famous by the naturalist and media personality.

Rod Cameron of Brisbane said he rushed to the zoo as soon as he heard the tragic news.
"We heard the news ... it's very sad and we are very upset. Australia just lost a bloody good bloke," he said.
"We grew up in Brisbane, followed his career. We just thought he was a good guy for what he did for Australia.
"He put us on the map, I reckon."
Mr Irwin was famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchcry "Crikey!"

The Crocodile Hunter was first broadcast in 1992 and has been shown around the world on cable network Discovery.

Sigh, this tragedy is so shocking but true. At least Steve Irwin died while doing what he loves best: The Wild.
May He rest in peace.

Steve Irwin aka Crocodile Hunter.

Congratulations sarah, you are 46% not Malaysian.

That means you're as Malaysian as...

Michelle Yeoh!

I'm so not patriotic. Haha so sue me :)

Happy Father's Day

2006-09-03T22:55:00.001+10:00

Daddy's Day

When Malaysia celebrates Father's Day around June (*me thinks*).. Australia finds the need to be different and celebrates Daddy's Day on the 3rd of September. Don't know why they do that but the date has been set a long long time ago. So everywhere you go, you see families together on this man-made-scheme-to-earn-extra-money-Father's-Day. Makes me miss my daddy and home even more.

Went to PlanetShaker's CityChurch this evening and the message was about Daddy's.
Waahhh, I was already so emotional about missing my daddy and family... some more the sermont was about Daddy's?

Its like adding salt to an open wound. My heart felt damn pain. Can cry buckets full of tears wei.

I thought of my Daddy. How he will always be that figure of authority; the man whom I was afraid to approach when you were younger but I grew out of that. My dad who sacrificed everything for me just to get me to where I am now. My dad whom will always drag me on Sundays to accompany him to the Golf Club (he claims he loves me around because he wants to show off his daughter, but urm dad.. i have nothing to show off.. but it's touching because somehow he will always be proud his little girl..)

I'm daddy's little girl.. and will forever stay that way. I love you daddy.
Happy "Australian-Father's-day"

Butterly Kisses-Lyrics. (omg, can make me cry even more..)

There's two things I know for sure:
She was sent here from heaven and she's daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes andI thank god for all the joy in my life
Oh, but most of all
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer;sticking little white flowers all up in herhair; "Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it's my first ride.""
I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried."
In all that I've done wrong I know I must have done something right to deserve a hug very morning and butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet 16 today
She's looking like her mama a little more everyday
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world.
But I remember
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer; sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you, Daddy, But if youdon't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time."
With all that I've done wrong I must have donesomething right to deserve her love every morningand butterfly kisses at night.

All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by.Precious butterfly.Spread your wings and fly.
She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride-room just staring at her.
She asked me what I'm thinking and I said "I'm not sure-I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
She leaned over...gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there,
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk my down the aisle, Daddy-it's just about time.""Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy? Daddy, don't cry!"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must havedone something right.
To deserve your love every morning and butterflykisses-I couldn't ask God for more, man this is what love is.
I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always rememberevery hug in the morning and butterfly kisses.

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out

robbed it of EeLin's.

so true.

2006-09-02T21:51:00.001+10:00

When you're hurting...

I don't understand why the world has to be so cruel. Why it has to turn its back on you when everything seems okay.
People aren't always nice, accept the fact..
Friend's always backstab and it hurts...

But

True friends exists...
They always know how to make you smile.
They're the ones who know you the best
They're the ones who aren't afraid to be brutally honest and tell you what you're doing wrong
They're the ones who will always be by your side no matter what
They're the ones who aren't pretentious at all

You may have a billion friends, but only a few true friends.
True friends will always leave footprints in your life wherever you go.

You can always count on them to understand you the best and forgive you for everything.
I love you guys, even though some of you are continents apart.. I know you'll always be there for me.

You girls have been there for me the longest, you guys know me the best and i know that you'll never do anything to hurt me. 6 years of friendship! <3

Faye and Thiaaa. You two have been through so much with me! You're the only two that can read my mind and finish my sentences. Hehhe *heart* you babes. Cynthia, IM COMING HOME SOON!

You guys know who you are. I appreciate the friendship you've offered me.

Omg,
I sound so emotional.

Spring dresses

2006-09-01T22:55:00.000+10:00

Fashion-strucked

As I was robbed from retail therapy for a long long long time... I decided to treat myself today by going shopping!
Since its a new season, (yes Spring is here!!) *smiles* I really wanted to check out the new stock they've brought it and all the winter clothes will be reduced!

Basically, shopping around this time is my haven *beams*
I dragged my beau along and we shopped and shopped and shopped for almost 5 hours!
My eyes totally went crazy!
The amount of pretty spring dresses and pretty tops and skirts totally kept me busy the whole afternoon!

I spent almost 200 aussie dollars today but on things i likey-like!
Bought this faded pink dress which is-to-die-for *smiles*

By the time *mememe* spent almost 200 dollars, i walked into Tommy Hilfiger and saw the preeeetiest Pink Polo T-shirt. (yes i am into polo's)
I took a quickie peek at the price and that is when i felt my heart literally sank.
$70.00.
Waahhhhhhhhh I've already spent 200. My bank balance already die. Want me to spend some more?

Shoopinngg. is. very. the. evil. It. Robs. You. From. Money. Which. Is. Very. Evil. Evil. I. Tell.You.....................

I was really tempted to buy that until I calculated my bank balance.
Nooooo lahhh, cannot cannot.
The good thing is, my pay is coming in next week and I think I can afford it!
Yayyyyy, i love $$$$ *big grin*

Sigh, but i can never get enough of shopping. How now brown cow? :(

2006-08-29T20:07:00.000+10:00

"hey.. its the 29th again!..which means......"

"...Happy Anniversary Baby dearest.."
"....Oh yeahh. 29th again!..."

Its about time we remembered our anniversary. Hahaha we didn't quite remember our anniversary for the past 2 months because it just has been too long.

So anyways,

Happy 1 year and 10 months dear!

Decided to have dinner at Crown again. The place that sells my favourite Ice Mocha *scrolls down*
Thank you darling for dinner!

Oh, and i rewarded myself for being such a "good girl" lately..
haha I bought myself a b-e-a-utiful Guess wallet at Crown.
It's beige in colour and well, typically Guess-designed.
I'll post pictures of my pretty-baby-guess-wallet soon!
Running late now... have lots of assignments to hand in!

Vivianne and *mememe* in the car.

PS: Phillip Island was rocking awesome!

2006-08-25T13:37:00.000+10:00

Away for the weekend...

I wont be updating this weekend as I'll be going to Philip Island! =)

Lets just pray the weather won't be a bitch.
Till then, see youuu lovely people!

Payback time.

2006-08-22T02:54:00.000+10:00

Payback time...

When the tough gets going, you just have to count on Mr. Azan (zanny wanny) to brighten up your day.
Hahahahaha.... I made him "pose" on webcam and made him take pictures of himself while trying to make me laugh.

So this is payback time Mr Azan.
For all those times you tickled me until I cried.
For all those times you tricked me into believing things that don't even exist.
For all those times you made me believe that I'm such a stupid gullible girl (haha i think i am too)

Hahahahha,

Introducing... My dearest Friend, Mr Azan

Tall, Dark and Handsome.
Girls, He's up for grabs? Just call me, email me or msg me for his number. Lol.

On 2nd thoughts, maybe not so handsome. Hahhahaha lolz.
Kidding Mr Azan.

Then, he wrote "Sarah is my master" (inside joke..)
Okay lahhh, give you chance.
You still handsome!

Hehehehe, thank you for cheering me up. You never fail in that department.
Can't wait to see you in November
*hugs*

in denial

2006-08-22T00:48:00.000+10:00

In Denial...

When you hold on to something/someone for the sake of holding on, it hurts.
When you keep holding on the something/someone just because you're afraid of losing it, it'll hurt more.
But when you know the truth, and keep denying it.. just to hold on.. it hurts the worse.

You're just in denial.

....."Will you still love me tomorrow?"

...."Forever and ever babe."

I love you babes <3

For those of you wondering, haha no there's nothing wrong with my relationship.
The "In Denial" post above is just random, of what i was feeling after watching some stupid emo-fying series.
Hahaha, so no worries. I'm good!

Spring is here!

2006-08-21T16:08:00.000+10:00

Bye-bye cold,miserable winter.. hello spring flowers!

As we all know, winter in the Southern hemisphere comes once every June and ends around August (for all you ex-geography students, this should come in handy!).
Which only means one thing, winter is finally over!! Well almost, actually.

No more miserable cold nights where my feet and fingers will be the first to freeze.
No more wearing 4 layers of clothings which make a snow-woman-lookalike.
No more "moon" at 4.30 in the evening (yes, more sunshineeeeee!)
No more naked trees without leaves (they scare me..)
No more throwing my money away on my heater consumption to my electricity bill
No more, urmmmm just no more winter.. you get the whole picture.

So anywayz,
As Sarah was feeling in the mood to welcome Spring (okay, for you geography illiterates, Spring comes after winter), she decided to call her kawan-kawan to go yamcha-ing by the Yarra River and enjoy the comfort the Sun shinning and the cool breeze.
You see,
I *heart* Spring because the weather is juuuusttt right. Not too cold, not too hot.
So i get to practically wear anything, depending on the weather!

We headed down to Crown Casino, and had yummy-licious drinks and food at this riverside cafe.
Omg,
Did i tell you how much i love the Sun?????

Crown Riverside

My deelishhh Ice Mocha with whipped cream and vanilla ice creamm

Me and jernie. Since she doesn't have an english name, i dub thee Jernipher! Hahaha

My knight inshinning armor, hehe

Ish, don't know why he doesn't want to take a decent picture.

Okay, I have to run now! Decided to go to the gym after, urmmm ages. hahaha will post more pictures soon!. to be continued.

My Inner Cravings

2006-08-20T04:14:00.000+10:00

My inner cravings

Lately, I've been having cravings for designer bags. Hmmm, call me materialistic or whatsoever but i really like them!
It gives this edge to classy looks.
But sadly, I'm cash-less.. which means no designer bags for me at all until i earn them!

I'm currently working part-time and I've worked out the math as to how much i HAVE to save in order to at least own one designer bag (its on my wishlist ---------->).
I have to work my ass off (lets say 20 hours a week) and at least 2 months of savings can buy me this Christian Dior bag.

Dior Tie-Dye Crocodile Detective Bag

*crycrycry*
I am soooooooooooo broke and it's not helping my shopping habit at all.

After 3 hours, this is what I came up with! What do yo guys think?

Somehow I prefer blogspot to xanga. I don't know but somehow blogspot allows more stuffs, or maybe it's just me!
Hehehe, so please my favourite and lovable readers, tell me what do you guys think.

Blogspot or Xanga? *click*
Leave me comments, and Sarah would be entirely grately and will give all of you bone-crushing-hugs! *giggles*
